DocRob Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 As the druid is the guardian of nature, and the cleric the guardian of the gods, the shaman hovers somewhere between the two. More focused on the natural world then the cleric, yet less protective of the living natures then the druid. The shaman is often a guide for the spirits and a protector. Shamans often come from the druidic ways, at times clerics of natural or elemental deities choose this path as well. - Hit Die: d8 - Proficiencies: - No Additional proficiencies given with this prestige class- Skill Points: 5 + Int Modifier - Class Skills: Animal Empathy, Concentration, Craft (not trap), Discipline, Heal, Listen, Lore, Search, Spell Craft, Spot - AB: mid - Saving Throws: Ranger - Primary Attribute: DexREQUIREMENTS: Feats: Resist Nature's Lure or Quicken SpellSkills: Spellcraft 10Other: Cleric or DruidABILITIES: Each level, a Shaman gains spellcasting levels as if he/she had leveled in his/her primary divine spellcasting class. Level1: Cold Resistance 1, Turn Undead,2: Fire Resistance 13: Electrical Resistance 14: Cold Resistance 25:6: Fire Resistance 27: Electrical Resistance 28: Cold Resistance 39:10: Spirit Companion Spell Progression Spell progression as the primary (or some cases both primary) spell casting class(es) requires some explanation. First of all there is no option to choose new spells when leveling in the prestige class with this ability. This means that even though the character will in theory gain higher level spell casting slots (or uses) they will need to learn the actual spells in other ways. In the case of wizards this can be done through scrolls, clerics and druids learn spells automatically and bards and sorcerers will need to level up in their primary class to learn new spells. The next thing of note is that this ability allows the character to gain spell slots/uses. The class will not increase the caster level of spells, which is calculated based on the primary casting class(es). In other words, even though the character gains spells slots/uses his spell power will generally be lower than that of a pure class character of similar level.Spirit Companion The Shaman's bond with the spirits grows strong and he can now call upon a spirit companion of his choice. The choices consist of the Bison, the Hyena, the Owl, the Panda and the Hammerhead Shark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalliros Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 I thought about helping players by giving some insight about the Spirit Companion. Mainly, it is to be noted that the Spirit Companion acts as a Summon and thus, occupies the Summon Slot. So whatever summon is active will be substituted by the Sp.Companion, and vice versa.
